Deluxe Fully-Automatic CO2 System

I was thinking about this same system, but instead chose to purchase each part separately - should start arriving tomorrow - woohoo!. I havent gotten a contoller yet but was considering one - of course I am planning on doing without for awhile just to see how easy it is to keep up.

I have been looking at the drop checkers tonight, but am curious what would happen if the suction cup failed or the checker was knocked off and all the reagent went into the water column? Further how often does that reagent have to be changed out?

Cool. My g/f told me that it came in today. I will probably be home tomorrow night and I still have to get the co2 bottle so hopefully this weekend I'll have it set up.

Rich, the reason I got the PH controller is because I'm not always home to moniter things. With that, I won't have to worry about it at all. (I'm hoping)
 
Understandable. Remember the PH level cant always be relied on for CO2 levels so you may need to tweak it some.

Ok, cool. Thanks...hopefully I don't kill of my entire stock somehow...lol. I'm sure I'll be on here plenty this weekend asking for help and advice.:)
